Congratulations to Anklebiter Jacob Wilcox for winning the U18 Junior Men and U16 Cadet Boys divisions at the Chill Western Australian Junior Surfing Titles over the weekend. The event was held at the notoriously hollow and unforgiving Gas Bay, where fast barrelling waves challenged the bumper field of 90 of WA's best up and coming surfers.
The preliminary rounds of competition on Saturday, whilst affected by cross shore SSE winds were dominated by performances from Jacob Wilcox, and also Dragon's Shaun Green. The new generation of Margaret River showed exactly why they are at forefront of junior surfing in WA with some jaw dropping manoeuvres and innovative surfing which impressed the judges and spectators alike.
Wilcox was elated with the win and commented on the performance of others and his excitement on returning to National Titles.
"It was pretty tricky out there but still fun. I knew that the boys could we going for airs with the wind light onshore, so that's what I went for too."
"I think WA will have a really strong team this year and its always good to surf against the other states so its good to get off to a start here".
